Pinch Kitchen+Bar

"There are a lot of very good things available at this casual neighborhood spot, but you should come to brunch for two of them in particular: the Pinch burger and the insane feat of engineering that is their stuffed french toast. It’s an entire loaf of brioche that has an oozing pool of guava in its center. Splitting it open and watching it all spill onto your plate is both soothing and satisfying, like a babbling creek or Niagara Falls—if both of those things were filled with hot guava instead of water." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"This brunch favorite offers something most don’t: a complete brunch menu every Friday, in addition to its Saturday and Sunday offerings. Guests can sip on $25 all-you-can-drink mimosas for up to two hours during brunch service while dining on bites like its popular Pinch burger, guava cream cheese stuffed French toast, gambas al ajillo, and more." - Eater Staff

"Technically Pinch is located just outside MiMo on 86th Street, but you’re already in the car and it’s literally only an extra 90 seconds if you get a couple of green lights. This place does lunch, dinner, and a really great weekend brunch that’s always crowded. There are some delicious small plates like dumplings, wild calamar, and croquetas stuffed with rotating ingredients. Take a look at the daily special on the chalkboard above the bar too. The Pinch burger is a great choice. It’s got a thick patty and requires some slight jaw flexibility." - ryan pfeffer

"Within the genre of big, messy burgers, Pinch makes one of our favorites. The juicy patty is over an inch thick and contained by a tall brioche bun. Lots of swiss cheese, a thick slice of tomato, and caramelized onions make every bite pleasantly gooey. This is a burger that feels like a full meal (and they give you more than enough french fries too). You’ll probably even need to take a little break halfway through. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

"We haven’t had a conversation about Miami’s best burger without someone mentioning Pinch. And that someone is us. It’s just undeniably good. And you won’t get mad at the burger’s thick patty, even if you prefer the thinner smashburger style. It’s really juicy and has a somewhat looser texture than the other burgers on this guide. Caramelized onions and a brioche bun add just enough sweetness, and the addition of bacon for an extra few bucks creates an enjoyable sweet and salty juxtaposition. It’s a messy, two-handed burger for sure—but well worth borrowing your neighbor’s napkin for." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
